Wonderful.: Inspirational writer, Chuck Colson, delivers a heartfelt and moving book about loving God. He refers to R.C. Sprouls "Holiness of God" dvd series, which is a class I'm taking at my church right now. I couldn't put the book down & read it in two days.

recommends it for:
every serious Jesus follower.
Spectacular treatment of the hub of a Jesus' followers wheel...Love.
The true stories in this work are written to stick. I have remembered them and quoted them all these years. Interestingly, recently in Rome at the Colosseum. I revisited in my mind the story of Telemachus, given in this work.

This book changed my life. I read it during a time of rapid spiritual growth in my young adult life. It is the book that God used to drive me to my knees as He opened my spiritual eyes to see the depth of my depravity. I will never forget that moment.

Read in July, 2008
I never get tired of this book. Reminds me that despite the despair and pain that exists in any person's life, God is at work in the lives of those who have faith, put their trust in His promises and live obediently.
This is also one of the first books I read as I started out my Christian journey. Fairly easy to read and understand, and sets the course straight for "loving God."

Has a copy to sell/swap
Practical wisdom and scriptural reminders for those who want to really have an unhindered relationship with the One who loved them first

Historically informative on the Nixon White House, and Colson's testimony heartfelt, but writing style was very dry.
